469 52nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

469 52nd Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1906, currently owned by Zheng Hong Zheng and located in Sunset Park. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past year, with a particularly concerning cluster of problems in September 2024 when multiple emergency complaints were filed simultaneously, including issues with cooking gas, mold, plumbing (basin/sink), and various general maintenance matters.

Notably, there were violations issued related to mold in apartment 2R, which is documented as having more than 10 square feet of visible mold on the bathroom ceiling and north wall. Other violations from September 2024 include concerns with safety equipment such as missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 2R, though these were certified as corrected by October 2024. The building's most recent inspections also revealed maintenance issues requiring attention, including a broken fire-retardant ceiling in the basement (Class C violation) and a need to remove household items from public halls (Class B violation).

The property has maintained a bedbug-free record, with no reported infestations in the past three reporting periods (March 2024, August 2023, and previous records), showing effective eradication procedures. While many of the recent complaints have been addressed and closed, several inspections were either inconclusive or required follow-up inspections, including complaints about plumbing and cooking gas in September 2024 where HPD was unable to complete the inspection. The building's violation history indicates a pattern of maintenance issues particularly affecting apartment 2R, though most recent violations have been addressed according to HPD records.
